When I first bought the car 5 years ago (C7 PE) I think I was paying £650 per year (with 15+ years protected NCB) Currently paying just over £1000 but have had to shop around each year to keep the premiums sensible. What's more frustrating is that I wanted to swap up to a 1-2 year old C8 Vorsprung b...

Got PS4s on and done 40,000 kms - still with about 10,000 kms left on them, but got a screw in one so full set replacement now … same same So, got great life out of them but that’s 1 year of driving with lots of country kms. Wouldn’t go to anything else - had the same on the RS4 before Agree with t...

I noticed this when i have mine first which was on P-Zeros, it was so bad i thought i had quattro problems, when i changed to Michelin PS4s the issue was greatly reduced, Ditto this, the PS4's have completely eliminated it for me. When I first got my RS6 it had mis-matched wear across the front axe...

Try ringing your local kwik-fit, I needed a set of Pirelli's last summer, no one had any stock but after speaking to my local kwik-fit they sourced 4 MPS4s for me within 24 hours which at the time weren't showing as available on the main group level website.

I've had 4 new Michelin PS4S' fitted today at Kwik Fit in Nottingham, they tried to do an alignment but apparently the car is 'too complicated' for their systems so they gave up and left it as it. Having had to pay through the nose to get the tyres I'd like to get an alignment check done, can anyone...

From what I've been told the sunroof service is a scheduled item (2 year intervals from what I can gather - but the dealer was cagey about confirming this) Costs around £160 from my experience with main dealers, at the very least try to get them to prove when it was last done, if they can't show it...

Silly question, but how you know when the cylinder deactivation kicks in?

If you are displaying the live MPG reading on the virtual cockpit display (bit between the speedometer and rev dials) then four cylinder mode is displayed in green text whenever its engaged.

Interesting, as I have driven the current tank of 98RON fuel as conservatively as possible, and achieved 420km for full tank, 262Miles, it has been tuned and doesn't run the 4 cylinder shutdown or turn off at the lights anymore, but the best numbers I can achieve are 11.5-11.8 L/100 in open road cr...

Nothing wrong with asking the question, and if you're using the car as a daily hack then its probably better to know upfront (spoken as someone who ran an E61 M5 as a daily for 8 years) With my daily runs to and from work & dog walking (generally trips around 10 miles) I consistently get 300-310 mil...

Its got a decent spec but I couple of things that would personally put me off, the standard alloys (allegedly more prone to buckling) the round steering wheel, I know thats a minor and trivial thing, but some people (like me) I really want a car with the standard flat bottomed steering wheel and wou...

No problem, here's a tip for test drives (assuming stock exhaust) if comfort is too quiet and dynamic too harsh, try setting individual up - put all options into comfort apart from exhaust, put that into dynamic, you get a much deeper tone but without the cracks and bangs of the gearbox being set to...

As for the price differential on the market you should probably factor in any impending works due on the car; tyres, brakes, servicing, warranty etc - some cars could be wanting £4-5k spending on them within the first 12 months of ownership.

I wanted a PE primarily for the more robust wheels, at the time the PE's for sale were also generally better specced than regular models. There does seem to be a glut of well specced 67 plate PE's on the market at the moment with HUD, Pano roof and all the tech packs. I find the 360 camera option ok...

Looks like it could be this car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv_8JHaXkVs Apart from the Capristo not sure if it is? Red brake callipers on that car plus no Eventuri (fitted later if so?) and can’t see if it has B & O? Capristo sounds good though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Its got the H...
